Election 2024 Foreplay

Looking at the Israeli/Iran situation from an election point of view, this week is a very dicey period for Biden.

Everyone knows that Americans (and increasingly the world who have joined in through media) have the attention span of a hummingbird. Thus, the Hamas dems can and were ruling the day before the latest attack on Israel. But then Israel was moved up to the front of their cerebral cortex for a few days and some sympathy/concern for Israel set in. Now the hummingbirds have moved back to Hama and the free palestine and all of that.

Bibi knows this. He is astute in general but highly sensitive to the way the world has shifted over to the pro-Hamas view- on at least in a major way. So Bibi says that there will be retaliation against Iran but with the usual "at a time and place of our choosing" type of qualifiers- which could leave some to believe that it could be like somewhere way down the road when they least expect it, etc. Nope. I doubt that Bibi will go much past this weekend at the latest. Bibi knows that if he goes too long and then strikes it will give the appearance that the recent events had blown over and returned to "normal" and now Israel is just lashing out to keep the rage going. He has to act within a time frame that causes the world to see the strike as a clear reaction to the recent attack on the Israeli homeland.

So back to Joe and the election:

When Israel strikes (probably be against a couple Iranian warships in the Gulf, some oil drilling platforms in the Arabian Sea, and oil refineries and depots inside Iran- no intended civilian targets), then Biden is back in the no-win scenario. The Hamas wing of his party has already returned to raging even more and if Bibi acts in defense of Israel and Joe distances himself or continues to kick Bibi and Israel in the nuts for defending themselves, then his little Israel versus Hamas dilemma gets even uglier and it is pretty ugly already.

Trump is off the trail due to Camp Biden's lawfare. So that works for Joe. Israel is in a lull period. That works for Joe. Enjoy the rest of the week doing whatever it is you do, Joe.

But the atmospherics are going to change bigtime before long.

The Israelis gave Joe Briben a serious kick in the chesnuts.

At almost exactly the time that the Israeli attack on Iran began, reporting was beginning to trickle out that the genius Biden diplomats (a/k/a clowns) had successfully worked a deal with Bibi whereby the Americans would not resist the assault on Rafa if the Israelis agreed to not strike Iran.

Then WHAMMO! There was never a time the Israelis were seriously listening to the American clowns. It was a method of keeping Blinken/Austin/etc. busy while the Israelis were takin care of business (or "bidness" as they say in Texas). The American position has been a double insult to Israel. The notion that Joe Biden needs to approve Israel's response to either Iran or in Rafa is out of order. The Americans rightfully can control what the level of American participation will or will not be and they did that- and Bibi decided to go it alone on both Iran and on Rafa.

Can you imagine what it is like to be Israeli and see Biden in office with Kamala standing in the wings? If you ever want to see Jews doing Hail Mary's then that would be the time.
